David,
SH>> from time to time, i get off the net and do some bbs-ing.

DW>  Well, myself, and I believe the HS_Modem Moderator uses OS/2, but ya

DW> a few weeks off-line...
I'll leave that decision to my Co-Moderator.
SH>> try UN*X, you'll like it!
DW>  Try OS_Debate... that might be a "non-destructive" place....
That would be "OS-DEBATE". :)
DW> Now, let's stop it before Dave gets mad... or Rick for that matter...
Rick's doing a fine job here and he's an even tempered individual.
I haven't felt the need to step in.  I am VERY satisfied with the
way that he handles the echo and I am glad that I chose him as
Co-Moderator.
My brand of moderation was needed at first, but it no longer is.
Although it was fair to all, it was harsh at times.  Hopefully
it will never be needed here again.
But hey, BTW, your message is off-topic and you should let the
Moderators do the moderating.  You are banned until the year
2079. .
Now let's hope that *_I_* don't get moderated for my off-topic
message. I'd hate to be banned from my own echo. 
Enjoy,
           /  Dave Raymond    -      Moderator:
